Quote from the message above: 'To make a long story short I never followed in his footsteps and persued photography as a profession. But it does not mean that his advice fell on deaf ears. So when I hear people gripe about their images being stolen. Heck you shoot digital and someone copies it. Those are the risks you take. You shoot on film, you have the negatives and no dispute. If you are a professional you already understand this. If you are a wannabe, well .... grow up.' I appreciate you sharing your personal and interesting story about your dad, a talented photographer. Yet I fail to see the connection between the wisdom he bestowed upon you and people disliking their work being pilfered. I also don't see the relevance of your view on the ratio of of film shot to number of keeper images.To my knowledge no one here stated that they shoot fifty rolls of film to get a decent shot. And anyway, we're here to share and experiment, not to set restrictions on how many pictures you're allowed to take of a given subject. Well, that's just my two pennies.
